Village schedules stormwater code hearing after staff flags Wingfoot Country Club runoff
Summary
The board scheduled public hearings to revise stormwater code and a related local law after staff reported a neighboring country club’s proposed stormwater changes won’t reduce runoff into the village; trustees emphasized public review time and intermunicipal coordination.
The board scheduled a public hearing for a revised stormwater law and discussed a nearby country club’s stormwater proposal after staff warned the club’s planned on-site improvements would not reduce runoff into the village.
A staff member told trustees that Wingfoot Country Club’s plan would improve drainage on its property but "is not making any improvements to the water that's coming off the property during storm events into the village." The board agreed to have an engineer report and to ask the town planning board to require on-site retention measures when the item is heard in Mamaroneck.
Separately the board moved to schedule a public hearing on proposed revisions to the village’s code (PLLU 2025), amending chapter 342 and repealing chapter 294 (stormwater management and sediment control), and set the hearing for Feb. 23 to give residents time to review the changes.
Why it matters: The village said it wants to avoid off-site stormwater impacts and to ensure local code updates align with enforcement and mitigation measures. Trustees said public review is important because the topic is technical and affects residents in flood-prone areas.
Next steps: Staff will provide an engineer report at the town planning board meeting and the village will hold the public hearing on PLLU 2025; trustees asked staff to allow adequate time for public feedback.
